Tamara Sullivan is enjoying life on the Rock. With one murder investigation successfully under their belts, Sullivan and her commanding officer, Chief Inspector Gus Broderick, settle down to regular police work under the sunny Mediterranean skies. In London, the British Government has declassified a large number of top secret files regarding British Military Intelligence operations during World War Two. One file, concerning espionage operations on Gibraltar, has been smuggled out of the U.K. to Spain. It contains information that will draw Sullivan and Broderick into the dark and treacherous world of wartime Gibraltar. A place where saboteurs and espionage plots abounded. Where double and triple agents from Britain, Germany and Spain were at war in a treacherous and deadly game of undercover operations. As the summer heat reaches its zenith in Gibraltar Town, a film crew has arrived on the Rock to shoot a movie about one of the most enigmatic and legendary spies of the war years - ‘The Queen of Diamonds’. Starring Hollywood A-lister Julia Novacs and produced by local born film maker, Gabriel Isolde, it is the talk of the Rock. It is only a matter of time before past and present collide and a dangerous battle begins to conceal the truth about the Rock’s poisonous wartime history. Detectives Sullivan and Broderick become caught in a tangled web of intrigue and murder that will once again test their skills and working relationship to the very limit. MY REVIEW THE POISONED ROCK by Robert Daws is the second book in The Rock Murder Mysteries series but can easily be read as a standalone novel. With plenty of twists and mystery to keep readers on their toes, this novel also weaves in the beauty and uniqueness of Gibraltar, making it all come to life for the reader. As the film crew arrives to bring the legend of The Queen of Diamonds to the world, there are those who will do whatever it takes to stop this from happening - they want the legend to remain buried forever. As danger closes in and murder becomes the order of the day, it is up to Sullivan and Broderick to uncover the truth. I really enjoyed the dynamic relationship between these two, and even though they are very different, they manage to complement each other at the same time. The Rock Murder Mysteries by Robert Daws is an exciting and vibrant new crime series and I cannot wait to read more!
